Alan Gates commented on PIG-794:
--------------------------------
It depends on what you mean by support. As far as Pig using Avro for
serialization between Map and Reduce and MR jobs, we haven't done anything on
that front lately. Last time we tested the performance was comparable to our
own BinStorage so we weren't motivated to move yet. Now that Avro has matured
a bit maybe we should test again.
As far as using Avro to store user data, with Pig 0.7 it should become quite
easy to write Avro load and store functions.
